Quest?

[*juggleblood*]

There was no other way to kill that thing. It's ridiculous to suggest that a mob like that even needs 'testing'. What is there to know? If a mob hits for more than 1300 a round thru buffs, it's gonna drop at least one tank every round.

I can't believe an imm would put an empty goody bag on a quest mob and then start enticing players to kill it, while there is a perfectly good desert group running. It ruined our group, caused a bunch of corpses, and wasted 5 ether scrolls. (I'll try to comp you one by the way Ever)

For what? NOTHING

I can understand if a quest group fails to succeed and thus walks away from a quest empty handed.

But for a group to succeed in killing a mob as big as the Bal Harbor Junk Dealer and walk away empty handed...

It's not a joke, it's an insult.

Blame Judge, he has been killing people at random with his gavel and not restoring them a lot lately. I think he's pissed off at Sloth for some reason.
Reb said she tried to get a restring or something added to no avail. I think the bottom line is that if it is MOB TESTING, then the mob should get tweaked and the players get restored. I have tested many and many-a mob for imms and NEVER NEVER would have them spend their drachma. IN fact I would likely just keep restoring and watching mob behaviour and then godsanc everyone for helping me.


**Edit - Having said that, everyone screws up and has a bad day. Lucky for me people are human enough not to hold it against someone forever when it happens. Otherwise I'd be run outta Lyme on a rail.

probably we could kill it w/o ether scrolls. we could set 2 or 3 tanks and manage a healo for every tank. so they would split damage and don't die every round. I guess it was suggested (by leader as I can remember) but ether scrolls were much eazy. and sure we didn't expect no reward.

my first though even was that we didn't get any reward for 'cheating' quest mob with ether scrolls but now I know I was wrong.

and what about prize... sure you do remember times when you have to donate eq when you join the quest group and all you could expect was to get back this or not worse piece of eq. and there were no drachma at all. could you say there was no fun?

p.s. or do I post something like this just because those scrolls were not mine?

p.p.s. well i'll try to compensate at least one.

ether scrolls are not cheating.. anyone can get them at anytime.

i would give up pieces of eq to join a QUEST that's fun and enjoyable.
mob-testing that's being camouflaged as a quest, on a mob that's completely overly powerful, resulting in many deaths, etc. is not fun.

perhaps since you were not part of this quest and know nothing about it.

you should be the one to stfu

i have been slothing for 11 years now and listening to people like you say (you should be happy they even run quests) well stfu already.. it's old..

they run quests because we play.. we play cause there is a game.. and the games exists because we all are bored and like to kill text things.. so in response to you ker.. if you don't play and you were not in this quest.. you have no ******* right to say anything to Toxis or anyone else about it.

Leave the Toxis abuse to those of us more certified to handle it.

Ker, You need to be the one to [b:9eyx2i1b][u:9eyx2i1b]STFU[/u:9eyx2i1b][/b:9eyx2i1b]

I've been mudding off and on since Sloth I back in 1992, and although Banedon is still slightly crunchy, I can honestly say that Toxis is a damn good tank and group leader, and knows what the hell he's talkin about, so if he wants to bitch, I say more power to him, he's earned a little bitch time.

Just my 2 cents worth

Banedon, stop ruining Brad's reputation by saying that! :)

And umm, if you are doing a mob test - tell the leader that it's the test, make him or her talk the group into testing it and restore them after. That's when noone is waiting for any reward.

no big deal to die in quest group for no prizes...
i die all the time for no prizes and no quest...

postscript: this one time i walked out of bh inn and got crushed by tiamat. right on the damn street. corpsed and lost my new rock boots (what a bummer!) and you all should know better then to pick a fight with the junk dealer.
